History of our Funds | Deep River and District Community Foundation

2002-2022 Celebrating our Past and Building for the future

The history of our Grants to support our Community

Over the past 20 years, the Community Foundation has been providing grants to our local community. Through the generous support from the community over time, our endowment fund has grown to allow us to provide more grants to the community. In addition, the foundation has taken part in other Grant opportunities through Community Foundations of Canada and it's a partnership with the Business community and the Government of Canada, bringing almost $100K of additional funding into our community. The result is that as of the end of 2021 we have granted over $500K to our local community.
